Good Afternoon Ray...

It's been awhile since we talked and I wanted to contact you to understand any
progress on the proposed Westchester parking restriction recommendations that
have been made? We have a WTC BID Board Meeting on Thursday and I know
every member will want to hear about the progress on this important project.
How is it going?

Thanks Ray.

Sorry Westchester BID,

Good Afternoon Ray...

I'm emailing in followup to the Westchester Town Center BID'S request to
initiate new parking restrictions in the BID area. Is there any additional
followup you need from US at this time? (Please forward any necessary petition
forms, policies and procedures, and any other materials that would be needed to have these
requested restrictions considered and implemented.) Also, can you advise us at to
approximately how long these requests would take to process?

We know you are busy on many projects and are just trying to help so that Westchester's
project is the easiest! Thanks Ray.

Good Morning and Happy New Year Ray...

The Westchester BID has analyzed your response of November 4, 2014
and reviewed our current parking issues. We have also talked with major
property owners.

Our consensus request is that the entire business district including those
non-BID sections of La Tijera and Manchester directly across from these
commercial properties be designated as a 2-hour parking zone between 6
am to 6 pm. (Westchester Town Center BID map attached.) This would
include all of the north / south streets: Sepulveda Westway, Sepulveda,
and Sepulveda Eastway. It would also include the east / west streets:
92nd, Westchester Parkway, 89th Street (Howard Drollinger Way), La
Tijera, Manchester, 87th Street, and Truxton. In addition, these same
streets should be designated for no over night parking 10 pm to 6 am.

These parking limitations should apply every day of the week, which
reflects the 7-day nature of the area, which is adjacent to the LAX Airport.

Please forward any necessary petition forms, policies and procedures, and
any other materials that would be needed to have these requested
restrictions considered and implemented. Also, can you advise us at to
approximately how long these requests would take to process.

Please contact me as we may assist further in any way.

Thank you, Ray.

Good evening Westchester Town Center BID Board members,

It was a pleasure meeting and providing the parking alternatives to you last Thursday.
Now I need your assistance in clarifying some of your requests in this email.

1. Please note that we do not stock 6am to 2am time-limit signs. It will cost the City
time as well as money to make such sign. Enforcement during those time slot would
also be an issue. Some of our traditional 2-Hr parking signs are:

- 6am to 6pm;

- 8am to 6pm / 8pm / Midnight;

- 9am to 6pm / 8pm / Midnight;

- 10am to 7pm / 10pm / Midnight.

Please select a more standard hours of operation. Also, please indicate Day of the
Week (ex) Monday thru Friday / Saturday, or Daily? And the reasons for the requested
time and day(s).

2. Please indicate the side of street for each of the three restrictions on Sepulveda
Westway and on Sepulveda Eastway.

3. I am assuming the end limits of the Sepulveda's are La Tijera Blvd to the north and
Westchester Pkwy to the south?

Again as mentioned at our meeting, posting of the time-limit parking restriction alone
may not be as effective as having parking meters to supplement the time-limit. This
has been proven at the LA Gateway area on 98th Street, east of Sepulveda Blvd.

Thank you and look forward to hear from you soon.

The Westchester Town Center BID Board of Directors really appreciates
your attendance at its October 30, 2014 meeting and
presentation regarding the establishment of parking restrictions within
its borders.

Specifically we discussed the Board's desire to create 2 hour parking
on one side only of Sepulveda Westway and Sepulveda Eastway
between the hours of 6 AM to 2 AM. The other side of the street would
be designated as "No Parking." In addition, "No Overnight Parking"
would be allowed these streets.

Can you please forward the necessary petition forms, regulations, and
any other materials that would need to be submitted to have these
restrictions considered and implemented? Also, can you advise us as
to approximately how long these actions would take to process.

Ray, thank you very much!!
